Barcelona former player Troy: It was my luck to be able to fight side by side with Messi

August 27 According to World Sports, Barcelona's former player Christian Terroy was interviewed and talked about topics such as his experience during his time at Barcelona.

Tello played in Barcelona's first team from 2011 to 2014. After leaving Barcelona, ​​he played in leagues between Portugal, Italy, the United States and Saudi Arabia. Now at the age of 34, he is temporarily unemployed because he has not found a club to sign him.

Memories about his debut in Barcelona's first team in the 2011-12 season

At that time, the Barcelona B team had players who were transferred to train with the first team almost every day, especially after the game, which was more common. I also often get the chance to raise the game, remember one Friday when Guardiola told me that I was on the first team's roster. At that time, everyone in Barcelona's first team shocked me because in my eyes, that Barcelona is the strongest in history... It was incredible to be able to train with Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, Messi, and later Neymar, Villa, and Pedro.

About my first goal in La Liga

It was in a game between Barcelona and Real Sociedad. Messi assisted me to score. Everything came too quickly. This experience was so wonderful. It was even more fortunate to be able to fight side by side with Messi.

Miss the harmonious locker room in Barcelona at that time

I entered a very harmonious locker room, Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta... They all took great care of me, and the same goes for other players from Barcelona B. They know the mood of a player who was promoted from Team B at this time. They are not only players with top skills, but also good people with outstanding character.

An unforgettable experience about myself and Guardiola

Guardiola and I had an unforgettable little episode with Barcelona B, when we were playing a regular short group matchup, I broke through Adriano's defense twice and scored goals. At that time, I was not the main player in the B team. After the training, Guardiola stopped me and said that I didn’t realize how outstanding I had. You must know that even the first-team players are difficult to break through Adriano... He also told me that I must take a more proactive step and have to show more outstanding performances so that I can truly advance to the first-team.

Thanks to (former Barcelona coach who has passed away) Tito Bilanova for his trust in himself

Tito is the coach who trusts me the most and gives me the most playing time. Working with him was an incredible experience, and he helped me so much. From Guardiola to Tito, we had barely felt anything wrong with the team, and later Tito (due to cancer) was unable to continue as a coach, which was tough for everyone, especially on a personal emotional level.

During that time, Tito would attend our tactical conferences via video calls, and Roure (then Barcelona football director) and Altimira (then Barcelona assistant coach) would help him handle the team's daily affairs, but Tito always tried to keep us in close contact. It was later that we truly understood the severity of Tito's condition. The whole team made extra effort at that time, and Barcelona won the La Liga title that season, which ultimately comes down to Tito.
